Compute the time constant of the system.
A block of aluminum is heated to a temperature of 100°C. It is then dropped into a flowing stream of water which is held at a constant temperature of 10°C. After 10 seconds the temperature of the block is 60°C. (Aluminum is such a good heat conductor that its temperature is essentially uniform throughout its volume during the cooling process.) The rate of cooling is proportional to the temperature difference between the block and the water.
